The Nike PreClassic was as close to most of the 12,000 plus paid fans get to a meet in Europe. This notion of a European type meet was what Steve Prefontaine organized in 1975 with several meets in Oregon. Tom Jordan, the meet director for the Nike Pre Classic, has, along with the Nike sports marketing team, had that concept in mind when they assembled the Pre Classic.

This year was no different. The rivalries were top notch, with William Claye versus Christian Taylor in the LJ. On the women’s side, there were many clashes, but the women’s 200 meters, with Dafne Schippers, Elaine Thompson, Tori Bowie, Allyson Felix and Shaunae Miller-Uibo was the closer. Tori Bowie flew away from the field, with 21.77, Shaunae Miller-Uibo in 21.91 and Elaine Thompson, at 21.99m.

A fantastic event, one of the best in my three decades of attending, the Nike Pre Classic was two fine days of world class track and field.

Taylor 18.11, Bowie 21.77
EUGENE (USA, May 27): The 43rd edition of Prefontaine Classic (IAAF Diamond League) was headlined before a full crowd at Hayward Field by third best ever men triple jump, sensational stadium and DL record in women 200 m with surprise winner, first 16 years old runner achieving sub 4 mile and much more. In summary on Saturday 7 World leads (plus 3 on Friday), 4 meet records (plus 1 on Friday), also 3 stadium record (1 on Friday).
Event by event
